No one decide to leave the home and their country without a serious reason. Some people leave their country in order to find a job and can feed their family. After the second war many Greek people went to Germany and leave behind their children in order to work and send money to their children. For this reason Greek people are very sensitive to migrants but as this period is very bad period for Greece the only help that can offer to them is very small. I think that EU needs to be more  and to destroy the fence in order these people to unstuck from greece and to find their final destination in order to start their life. We need all to think about the trauma that all this adventrure created to them.

1.2 Why do people migrate?

People migrate because there are wars, conflicts or poverty in their country or because there are no cures for certain diseases in their country. People migrate because they hope to find a better place to live and grow their children. In many countries that embrace migrants and refugees there are associations that help these people: a charity, a non-governmental organisation, a church or other religious group, an organisation running a shelter or simply a group of active volunteers.

As a young girl I witnessed a war raging in my country. Many of our Croatian people, especially from the Eastern parts of Croatia had to leave their homes. They mainly came to live in other parts of Croatia, but some of them left for other EU countries as well. Most of the returned after war. So, war, famine, low lifestyle, unemployment and other things make people leave their homeland. I am so sad that many Croatian leave for a better life in other EU countries due to lack of work as well.

I must say most of the migrants from Syria, Afganistan and so on went through CRO, our people were very helpful because they know how it is to have no home, to lose everything!

The most common reasons for migration are because people are in danger or because they aim at enhancing the quality of their life. More specifically, they leave their coyntry: to escape procecution based on race, religion, political opinions etc, to escape war or conflicts, to seek job opportunities, to study abroad, or to ensure a higher level of wellbeing for themselves and their children.

People migrate because of the bad situation they face at their country (war, economical or/and political crisis). Absolutely, it is not something easy and they face many problems in order to leave their country and find a better place. When they find a new country, they have to deal with new problems. Our role, as teachers, is very crucial in order to help those kids integrate in a new school environment.

People migrate for many reasons: economic, social political and environmental reasons are the most common.
The main difference, I think, is in what is behind the choice to migrate, in other words, if peole choose to migrate or have to.
Thanks to the videos of this module we have a clear and authentic witness of what migration means. Even deeper, what being a refugee means, and why, one day, you are forced to leave your country, your friends, your home, all you had and begin a journey of hope full of uncertainties.

I must say that the videos are really interesting and very informative. Many people to try to improve their living conditions decide to emigrate, to leave their country, their family, their lives. These people hope to find a job and a better life in rich countries. The  newly arrived migrants fleeing wars, persecutions, leave their homeland because they are suffering from hunger or serious illness or because in their country there isn't freedom

# data[].attributes.body
Investigations show that refugees leave homelands because of the uncertain, dangerous situations faced there. They are so hopeless that they believe no better days can come in their countries. So the only thing that can empower them to continue being alive is the struggle to reach better conditions away from home.

# data[].attributes.body
People have moved from their home countries for centuries, for all sorts of reason. Firstly, they try to escape conflict, violence, poverty and seek superior healthcare. Secondly, they try to find refuge after being displaced due to environmental factors like natural disasters, erosion, and other environmental factors caused by climate change. In some cases, people migrate with the knowledge or hope that more opportunities will be available to them in their particular field than at home. Many people also study abroad to seek out better educational opportunities than are available in their own countries. Parents sometimes make the difficult decision to migrate so their children can benefit from things like superior education and plentiful job opportunities.

Italy is a country easily accessible from Africa. People migrate because of the poverty, war, religion, politics. Who migrates does it to improve its own life, to escape from hunger, war, desease, cultural and religious persecution. Where I live there are two associations that deal with migrants and refugees.

In these days I had the chance to meet two active young women who work for different associations here in Lamezia. The first is a social organisation, named Malgrado Tutto, actually running a Centre for extraordinary shelter (CAS in Italian). They welcome young men only, from Mali, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Gambia, Bangladesh, Iraq, Burkina Faso, Eritrea, Camerun and Senegal. The second, Luna Rossa, is a Shelter system for asylum seekers and refugees (SPRAR in Italian); it has been developing into a SPRAR for unaccompanied minors since February 2014. All these associations provide migrants with: 1. Linguistic mediation; 2. Infos on burocratic and legal Italian system for migrants and asylum seekers.

I think that the decision to emigrate and live far from their homelands is not due to one reason, but always resulting various causes or a particular set of circumstances. It migrates voluntarily (by choice) or forcibly (for constriction). For reasons economic, demographic, political, cultural. Because of wars, racial conflicts, ethnic and religious or even natural disasters. But the element that unites all the decision to move is the search for better living conditions :

In Finland we are beginning to have more and more undocumented migrants and it's beginning to be a problem. All sorts of activist organisations are arising to help the migrants in difficult situations. The government has made it more and more difficult for the criteria of asylum to be met, and it is considering Iraq and Afghanistan to be safe places to live which is an outrage. The large percentage of applications denied is only adding to the problems. It's a terrible situation, and I am ashamed to say that I think the Finnish government is not respecting human rights any more.

My country had a strong emigration during the 60s and 70s, for economic reasons but also to escape the colonial war. In the first decades of the 20th century and in the 19th century we had a strong emigration mainly to Brazil.

Everytime I watch these videos or news on TV about the newly arrived migrants, I can’t stop thinking that these thousands of people should be so deseperate to risk lives this way … I think we can hardly imagine.
Portugal is a final destination for these migrants and many of them don’t want to stay here, their ai mis to go to Germany or other nothern country. The situation is much more difficult in Greece, Italy or even Turkey or Spain, due their geographic situation. People has always migrate in seek of a better life, economically and socially speaking, new opportunities or escape from political or religious persecutions. But, nowadays,  the numbers are huge …
Portugal has always been a country of migrants, actually we started back in the 15th century. During the Salazar regime, the Portuguese economy was almost stagnant. Between 1960 and 1970 many Portuguese immigrated especially to France and Germany. Political opponents to the government were forced to seek refuge and asylum abroad. In 1961 a guerrilla war seeking independence from Portugal started in African territories under Portuguese rule. The colonial war lasted 13 years. The fascist regime and the colonial issue led Portugal to a gradual international political isolation. The long period of authoritarian rule under Salazar (1933–74) saw few refugees settle in Portugal. The end of Salazar’s rule led to many Portuguese returning from former colonies in Africa. Migration flows in Portugal have a notable variability over the last few years. There was significant increase in the foreign population between the years 2000 and 2010. Migratory outflows remained constant until 2008, when they had a remarkable growth; Portugal received people from Kosovo, Ukraine, Russia, Moldavia, Romania, China, Brazil, as well as several thousand people who fled the civil war in Guinea-Bissau.

The influx of refugees and migrants into the E.U. that peaked during 2015 exposed the limits of European solidarity. Among the countries that stepped up in support of front-line states overwhelmed by new arrivals was Portugal. While some members erected border fences and sought to sabotage a scheme to relocate refugees from Greece and Italy, Portugal volunteered to resettle up to 10,000 people. This initiative came in spite of the country’s debt crisis that necessitated a painful financial bailout.

Everyday I see on the tv news about the newly arrived migrants. Most of them arrive in Southern Italy, Sicily above all and then cross the coutry passing by Rome or Florence or Milan then going in some other countries such as France. They are received locally by many organisations, for exemple Croce Rossa, by the churches and by local organisations that receive funds in order to help them.

In my country there are more than three hundred refugees and in the provincial capital only 10, need more attention from the relevant forces to operate in a fair allocation of migrants. disproportionately dividend is likely to blow up all the schemes.

The immigration in Greece seems to be a crucial problem for a country that suffers from an economical crisis. Apart from the political issue the educational frame seem to be the most important after the every day life problems that face the immogrants. Their stories are very different and will be a great mistake to group them as one. A great number of them came from Syria because they were afraid for their lives. Some other came from Afganistan and Pakistan because of the civil wars.

Italy is the 2nd country in Europe more involved in immigration problem. The geographical condition but also the Italian culture traditionally have always been attractive elemnti towards foreigners. However, currently the average Italian sentiment is changing, perhaps acusa the severe economic crisis we are going through or even for the crisis of idealism politically motivated. The qualunqulismo, populism, the recovery of Nazi ideologies are the basis of the true problem involving immigrants. Surely the problem is very complex and should be addressed jointly by all countries euopei. This would involve upstream idea of united Europe not only in economic terms, but ethical, moral, legal. All aspects that unfortunately at present are far from the reality that we live.

In Italy this topic is really "hot" and there are a lot of prejudices. Italians are usually a hospitable and friendly people, although in recent times financial crisis and corruption made racism get growing.
So the role of school is fundamental, because it has to teach the truth and sensibilizing students to a culture of acceptance. The videos let me think that it could be easy, also starting from some simple questions like "Would you abandon your country, friends and home if you stay well or do not risk?". Also the third video is really impressive, easy to understand, it can help destroying false believes.
With financial crisis many italians think that migrants are stealing our job or that State is spending too much for their care. The problem is also connected to corruption. Some politicians keep for themselves public money destinated for migrants: so migration care system is a big business. And then there are parties who try to gain consensus through racial programmes.
Information and empathy could be the two ways to educate our students.
I found many information on the website of the committee UNCHR for Southern Europe.

Would you leave your mother country if you had nothing behind you? No opportunities? Yes, I definitely would. Let's think about our Italian migrants at the beginning of the last century...So many of them left Italy and expecially south Italy to find a new life for them and their children. They didn't live a good life at the beginning! They were isolated and treated badly the same way today we treat many of the desperate who are flying away from war, atrocities, tortures, hunger, poverty and also bad health problems. People are good and bad everywhere, there's good and bad in everyone , but we can change the world if we unite and be together. Let's start from children, for example!

People migrate for many different reasons. We are living very hard times, the number of migrants due to wars and persecution is rapidly increasing. This is the reason why we must be ready to integrate these persons in our society. Unfortunately, in Italy politicians and media had a bad influence on the population. Indeed, Italians are becoming more and more racist. I hope in a better future, with more open-mindedness and intercultural understanding/acceptance in my country.

People migrate for different reasons such as war, poverty, cultural and religious persecution. In Greece, there are a lot of shelters and hotspots for the refugees but unfortunately they are not large enough to accomodate all these people and they are unsafe and have inadequate hygiene. In Switzerland, where we (me and my family) moved for a better living, the majority of the residents (Geneva area) come from all over the world but everything is well-organised and we feel safe and welcome.

I walk with the idea that this is the truth about migration. They're escaping from death, essentially. There are no danger, they're visible, that's all! And this is the reason why lot people are afraid by this. Looking at the numbers, study, reasoning is the way to perceive the high potential of migration, and this is not the first time in the history in which things goes in this way. So, WAKE UP!

Why do people migrate?

The stories that the children have told me differ depending on where they come from.

I will use a few of my pupils as examples.

Boy from Mali – He had to watch his father be beheaded and his mother raped to death. Her last words to him were “run and don’t stop until you are safe”. He crossed the Sahara by foot in a large group of children, crossed the Mediterranean See by boat and walked in the dark to get to Germany. He is traumatized. But, he is doing all he can to stay and get a good job in safety. He was never in school before, he was 14.

Brothers from Syria -  They walked from Damascus to Lebanon, flew to Turkey, worked in factories along the way, walked to the see close to Greece, took a boat to Greece, nearly drown, got saved by the Coast Guard and walked to Germany. The trip took 2 years and all the money their parents had. Why did they come alone? It is all their parents could afford. 2 Boys saved from being forced into being soldiers and dying. They miss their parents and sisters terribly, but they must stay to be safe. They were 16 and 15 when they arrived. They hadn't been is school since the oldest was 10.

Girl from Eritrea - Her mother is a single parent with 3 girls. The oldest was hidden by friends as the mother was put in jail. The girl had to promise to go to Europe and start a life in safety. She walked through Ethiopia, Sudan, and Libya. She traveled with a group of women and they were raped several times along the road. Those who refused were killed. She too crossed the Mediterranean See by boat and was delegated to Germany. She is working hard to catch up in school and looking for an apprenticeship.

Girl from Serbia – Her family came with the rush of refugees. They don’t look much different than the Syrians.  The family took the chance because the older sister is handicapped and they couldn’t afford her medicine or care. It is the only solution they could find to help the older sister live without pain and in dignity.

Boy from Bulgaria – His parents have jobs that pay well. There weren’t any jobs for them in Bulgaria. He doesn't want to be in Germany and refuses to learn the language.

Myself – I fell in love and chose to stay in Germany because my husband would never move to America. It was the only way to stay together. He refuses to speak English, so I had to learn German.

I visited some of the pupils in the buildings that they were staying in. Very close quarters, loud, no privacy and not welcoming. But they are making the best of the situation.

There are many reasons for people to emigrate. Reasons of religious, social, political and personal sense. One can emigrate to escape the war, to improve life, to know countries, to join families, or to intervene in the country.

The videos are very inspiring and full of important information. I already shared them on my facebook.

# data[].attributes.body
Al three videos are very inspiring, I rally think the third one would have a great impact if I showed it in class because it logically analyses the most common prejudices on migrants, especially those  based on vicious stereotypes such as them being lazy spoilt people with cell phones who claim to be  supported by their host countries without giving anything in return but problems. Well things do not stand that way, but it's not easy to demolish stereotypes and prejudices rooted in people's minds and fed by xenophobia and fear in general. So, very good material. Thank you

Who migrates does it to improve its own life, to escape from hunger, war, desease,cultural and religious persecution. For them it's not easy leave all they have and go to another place where they don't know how life will be. It's a guess for them, but they do. It will be something better than what they have.

# data[].attributes.body
First I must say that the videos are really interesting and very informative. Many people to try to improve their living conditions decide to emigrate, to leave their country, their family, their lives. These people hope to find a job and a better life in rich countries. The  newly arrived migrants fleeing wars, persecutions, leave their homeland because they are suffering from hunger or serious illness or because in their country there isn't freedom.

# data[].attributes.body
Very interesting videos. If we look at the reasons for newly arrived migrants to leave their home countries, we will understand them and recognise their rights for a better life and future.

# data[].attributes.body
The videos were really good, especially the last one. Greece has been in a financial crisis so deep that it faces diffiulties in hosting, let alone integrating refugees in the social and economic terrain. However, it will continue to welcome those people, in the hope that a new (european/international?) policy proves to be more efficient in terms of housing them, educating them, employing them...

# data[].attributes.body
First of all I would like to point out that the last video was very informative and enlighting to me. As for the reasons people migrate, I think that the most usual is to discover a better way of living. No one leaves his country which offers him a good job, a quality in his living conditions and numerous opportunities of development either to him or his family. As a country, we know what migration means. To be accurate, especially our grandparents who left Greece in the middle 60s and 70s in order to migrate to Germany, USA and Australia to find a job and "build" better living conditions for their families. Now my country is in the position not only to host a large number of migrants and refugees but also to integrate them in its system. However this number is disproportional to our capability of helping due to our internal economical problems and lack of infrastructures. On the other hand despite the inadequate system, the private initiative plays the most significant role now.

Refugees suffer beyond our comprehension. After all, now so many people are hopeless and helpless in Greece... Every happy ending is so precious! I want to talk about volunteers who are precious support.

I live in Italy and of course I can't ignore this topic.
Many reasons can explain the necessity to migrate. In my town we can see two categories: people who migrate to find a job and to give a better life to their families. The earthquake and the reconstrcution of my town give good job opportunities.
And also refugees from african route, who live their country to survive because of  persecution, politic problems. I can't imagine what kind of life they had in Africa, but I can try to imagine it because they crossed Sahara and the sea to arrived here, challenging  death.

The persons migrate for different reasons but they all have in common the research of the serenity (wellbeing meant how to be well).

Nobody leaves superfically the own house, the own family, the own history. If there is has this, that is used hoping to live well/in a dignified way.

To migrate means to be rebuilt, running the risk of losing the own identity. To be foreigners means to be different and, unfortunately, this is equivalent to be dangerous.

Because this situation has been going on for some years now, our local authorities provide some basic help to newly arrived immigrants.

What all migrants have in common is the attempt to lessen the pressure they perceive in their original environment, whether it is due to economic, social, cultural, or physical threat.
My parents left Iran for Italy 30 years ago because of war and to be able to raise their children in a democratic environment.

I realize that since the expansion of the European Union, the most recent wave of migration has been from surrounding European states, particularly Eastern Europe, replacing North Africa as the major immigration area. School has to face this increasingly phenomen and try to improve activities and strategies to meet foreign people in the best way. It's difficult for a child to leave his country, his friends and start living in a new country with a different language and unknown people and places.

I'm now living in Brindisi, in the south of Italy. Sometimes it arrives a ship full of migrants. Here they get only first aids and hospitality and then they are sent elsewhere. I've just found out that there's an association called Comitato Migranti e Mediterraneo di Brindisi. I'll try to know more about it, if there is a shelter nerby and if they work also we newly arrived migrants.

The main question is: would we leave all the people we love or all the things we have ?...

It's just too hard to think about children in busy boats or walking kms to find a etter life... facing to violence , cold , no food ...

It’s very sad to be aware that Western Countries have caused wars in the Arab Countries and North Africa for money and oil, for their own economic interests.

Now we can’t complainourself, built shameful walls and close the doors to desperate people who lived like us.

Until we think only to our benefit, poor people will continue to flee Their country to save himself and try to change the lives of Their children (employment, health, education, freedom, ...)

Many reasons can be the cause of migration; it can be a choice or a necessity. For people coming from countries devastated by war, there is no other way. Especially, in the cases of civil war, it is a huge shame that people of the same nation would turn against each other and destroy their own home.

The phenomenon of migration may be rooted in:
economic motivations (to escape poverty, to seek better living conditions);work (to find a job, to improve their job);political reasons (dictatorship, persecution, oppression, war, genocide, ethnic cleansing);religious type (inability to practice their religion);natural disasters(tsunamis, floods,
earthquakes, famines);personal reasons (ideological choice, engagement with a resident partner in another country);
The criminal type (to escape justice in their country, to avoid a crash);


The majority of migrants arriving in Italy have been forced from their dictatorships and their laws that deprive you of freedom.

I live in Como, near near the border with Switzerland. Many refugees try to cross the border to arrive in Northern Europe and be reunited with their relatives, but the border is controlled and those who try to cross it is sent back. Many refugees from Africa have remained camped for days in the Como train station, until you have made available to them of prefabricated houses. There are parishes that especially for elderly people, women and children and provide them with food and medical care.

In my opinion, there is a common element to all migration causes. Something is going wrong in their countries (politically, economically, theologically...). Usually, an external factor, trying to impose his will, upsets the social peace, working together or against a national, social or political team.

The reasons for migrating can be different: poverty, war, persecution.
All motives are united by the desire to have a better life for themselves and for their families.

During the 1950s and the 1960s a substantial amount of people in Greece migrated in order to find a job (the unemploymant was a very serious problem in Greece in that period). Some song of that period describe this situation. Here is one...

My parents migrated in Athens, Greece (internal migration) in the 1960’s, in order to find a better job and to have a better quality of life. My sister migrated in the UK for University Education in 1997 and in 2001 she migrated in Switzerland, as she found a good job there.

A famous Greek composer, Mikis Theodorakis (1925-), was a refugee in France during the period 1970-1974 (in the years 1967-1974 there was a dictatorship regime in Greece). Before Mikis Theodorakis flee from Greece he was in prison and his life was in danger, as he was against the dictatorship regime. During his imprisonment he wrote a substantial amount of songs describing his feelings.Here is one of these  songs...

As I was writing in the previous post, it's very difficult, for me, to investigate the situation of refugees in my area, since there is almost (but I'm going to investigate...) non refugee here, whereas there are many immigrants who are helped, when they arrived, chiefly by their communities. In addition, my province has a lot of association, religious and not religious, who help people in need, but they tend to go to foreign countries, for tradition: for instance, Saint Comboni was born in a village on the Lake of Garda, but in Brescia there are even the Saveriani, who are facing a great crisis (the library of the people has to close, and the Review is not published anymore, and I sorely miss the meeting and the laboratorie for teachers held by them); in my small village, there is the "Resilience" association, but even a volontary group, called Gruppo Malì, but, as I was saying, they help people abroad, so I'll need to investigate the general Italian situation, already well examined by other people (http://www.sprar.it/i-numeri-dello-sprar) . I'd just like to add another reason why people migrate; to give a hope to their ill or disabled children (I've seen a lot of this cases...)
http://www.gruppomaligavardo.it/html/Home.html  http://www.assoresilience.it/index.html    http://www.comboniani.org/
And I'd like to remember the final section of the exhibition about Immigration I have visited last summer in Berlin ( at the

Deutsches Historisches Museum Berlin) with the stories of some immigrants, for different reasons (unfortunately, only few people stopped to watch all the videos...) and the hearthbreaking installation at the Museum of European Cultures http://www.smb.museum/en/museums-institutions/museum-europaeischer-kulturen/exhibitions/detail/daheim-einsichten-in-fluechtige-leben.html

So far nearly 171,000 asylum seekers have arrived in Italy this year, surpassing the record set in 2014
The majority of migrants bound for Italy are fleeing poverty, wars and dictatorships in Nigeria, Eritrea, Sudan and the Gambia. Syrians no longer use the Libyan route.

The breakdown of law and order has significantly worsened living conditions for foreign workers in Libya since 2011. Many report conditions tantamount to slave labour, while hundreds have been kidnapped for ransom, and sometimes tortured.
